This month heralded the end of our four years of working in Biloxi. The final home, the Porch Dog by Marlon Blackwell is now complete.
We began work on the Gulf Coast in October 2005 and have implemented, supported and funded projects in East Biloxi, Waveland, Bay St. Louis and New Orleans. In the coming weeks we will write up a full report (and photos by the amazing Iwan Baan) of all the impact made by the organization but most importantly the dozens of firms and thousands of volunteers whose dedication and hard work help build back the coast.
The online auction ended last night and netted over $2500 for Architecture for Humanity. Funds will be put into our expanding design fellowships programs, allowing us to provide more professional design services to communities in need around the world.

A 2006 world report about the buildup of plastics in our oceans marked an epiphany for Adventure Ecology founder David de Rothschild and the beginning of a journey to raise awareness about the environmental dangers facing our Oceans.
It gave birth to the Plastiki, a 60ft catamaran almost entirely from reclaimed plastic water bottles and self-reinforced PET, a uniquely recyclable and relatively unexplored material.
Tonight Architecture for Humanity designer Nathaniel Corum will talk at Plastiki Mission Control (Pier 45) about our involvement to help shelter this motley crew on their voyage.

During the early years of the organization, armed just a laptop and a cell phone, some of our volunteers were alarmed by the number of coffees I'd have per day. On average around 5-7 coffee. What they didn't realize is that for every $5 coffee meeting I'd leave with a $25-50 donation. This kept us going for years!
So, as we launch our capital building campaign -- for our grassroots supporters we are going back to basics and doing a 'coffee with' campaign called 'Do A Latte Good'.
It's simple, starting 5pm PST you can bid on coffee with an Architecture for Humanity supporter, designer or client and in exchange they'll put funds towards improving the living standards of communities around the world.
From Oct 12th to the 22nd you can bid on the following Architecture for Humanity friends;

Trophy Trout
|So, what constitutes a trophy trout? Is it 20
inches or better? Big freestone rivers, spring creeks and giant tail waters
produce an inordinate number of outsized trout in the Western US. But for
every famous location there are hundreds or even thousands of small unheralded
streams that have healthy populations of fish. Pick-up any back country
map and you'll find numerous possibilities. In most cases they hold fish
That 20" trout from a well known tail water fishery may put up a great fight but it probably won't be any better than a beautiful 12-inch brook trout in a small mountain creek on a 2-weight outfit.
This type of fishing is beautiful and challenging. Best of all, it is readily available to anyone. You don't have to drive for hours or brave the traffic jams on I-70 to enjoy such fishing.
Sound good doesn't it? Getting started is pretty easy all you need is a few topo maps that can be found at numerous locations and doing a little detective work. Use these maps to locate tributaries that feed major river systems or fill lakes. Put on your hiking gear take along some basic fishing equipment and begin to explore. A lot of discoveries can be made by driving around country roads and checking out various possibilities.
Some years ago while driving in Routt National Forest I encountered a bridge crossing with a very small creek running through a culvert. Curious, I decided to hike along the Creek. After bushwhacking for a mile or so I encountered a valley with a series of beaver ponds filled with 12 to 14-inch Brook Trout. There was absolutely no evidence of others fishing the area! I found a spot within 20 miles of Boulder that offered great small stream fishing for brown trout which was ultimately lost to development 10 years ago.
For the most part, you'll find these spots on your own. You might get some help from others but this is the kind of information most fishermen just don't share and with good reason.
What kind of an outfit works best for this type of fishing? I'll tell you what I like to use. Small packable rods from 7 to 8-feet that handle 2 or 4-weight lines, short leaders of no more than 7 1/2-feet and a couple of spools of 6X to 5X tippet material. I carry my flies, rain gear, and lunch in one of those Camel Back hydration packs along with a pair of wading sandals. I'll take an extra high pair of neoprene socks made from old waders to wear with the sandals. I prefer zip-off cargo pants and long sleeved fishing shirts with plenty of pockets. Aside from personal items, that's about it.
I do most of this kind of fishing in the summer months when the big named locations on the Western Slope are elbow-to-elbow. I'm still fishing and enjoying my day while other anglers are trying to get through the Eisenhower Tunnel.

Oliver Newby ended day two with three wickets to his name as he and his Lancashire colleagues fought hard to keep Nottinghamshire in check on day two of the County Championship match at Old Trafford.
Australian one-day international batsman Adam Voges hit a polished 95 to ensure his side gained a first innings lead, while visiting captain Chris Read hit a combative 48 not out to stunt Lancashire's late afternoon fight-back. [Scorecard]
See the highlights tomorrow on www.Lancs.TV
Voges was recently left out of Australia's squad to tour South Africa because he chose to get married. Had he not done, he could have been playing for the Aussies against Pakistan at Abu Dhabi tomorrow. The right-hander looked untroubled as he helped his side to 218-4, but Newby and Glen Chapple took two quick wickets before tea.
Read was dropped by Kyle Hogg at mid-on when he was 30, and was still there when bad light forced an end to proceedings with the visitors in control on 263-6 with a lead of 74. 20 overs of the day's allotted 96 were lost.
"I am happy with wickets whenever they come. I was really happy to get Voges later on when we took the new ball," said Newby, who also saw Chapple claim 2-63 from 27.1 overs.
Runs have been hard to come by on both days of this match, with swing and a little bit of extra bounce making life difficult for the batsmen.
Newby continued: "Voges managed to get away from us a little bit, but overall I thought we bowled really well. It was something we spoke about at Sussex, we didn't want the run-rate to get away from us. I think they have gone at 2-2.5 (runs per over), which is really good from our point of view."
Chapple and Newby claimed the two wickets to fall in the morning session, the first of which was Mark Wagh bowled for 17 by the Lancashire skipper.Voges looked unflustered from the moment he arrived at the crease with his side 63-2 in the 27th over of their innings, but Bilal Shafayat was struggling for any kind of rhythm.And the former England under 19's skipper was undone by a bit of extra bounce from Newby, fending to Steven Croft at third slip. Shafayat had faced 117 balls for 34, and Notts were 95-3.
Voges, from Subiaco in Perth, reached his fifty off 109 balls in the 53rd over of the innings, five overs after lunch, but Brown (21) was the fourth man out when caught at first slip by Paul Horton off Tom Smith. Voges and Read shared a valuable 67 for the fourth wicket before the former had his knock ended by Newby's in-swinging delivery, trapping him lbw, just before the tea break.
England off-spinner Graeme Swann was dropped by a diving Luke Sutton off his first ball, much to Newby's frustration, but it was not a costly drop because Chapple got Swann in the over before tea when Horton claimed his second catch of the innings.
It remains to be seen how costly Hogg's let-off for Read will be. Paul Franks will resume tomorrow morning unbeaten on 22.
"If we can get some early wickets in the morning, keep them to a steady lead, then go and get more than them when we bat again, it could turn out to be an interesting day four," added Newby.

You're probably all dead — me too — swallowed by the Mayan apocalypse that many of us (foolishly) thought was utter nonsense, once.
Which means you're not even reading this. But still ...
I probably shouldn't have spent my last day writing a column, sitting next to the stuffed smallmouth bass that decorates my desk and the portrait of the Rahmfather contemplating the back of my neck from its perch on my office wall.
I should have gone fishing and smoked a cigar on the flats of southwest Florida. Or learned to shoot dice or make a killer veal saltimbocca or take my wife dancing. And I hate dancing.
I really should have given the Mayans the Moutza of the Month for December. Why? Because they caused so much aggravation, hogging at least half of the Discovery Channel with their doomsday prophecies, and they made that underground bunker guy rich.
Nah, you stupid ancient Mayans. Nah!
They get the last Moutza.
Regrets are pointless, what with the Earth in steaming ruins, but I must point something out:
Remember that British academic? The one who ridiculed the Mayan business as nothing but nonsense created in the crazed, psychedelic-mushroom dreams of goofy New Age thinkers?
He was wrong. But now, do you really care?
Still, those of you who are wise in the ways of science know there are always survivors. Certain insects seem to thrive in the worst catastrophes. Such bugs are invincible. They crawl on their wretched bellies and leech off the remains of once-great civilizations.
I'm talking about the politicians.
What really burns me is that I didn't take all my vacation days. And I should have gone tarpon fishing with my sons.
What's even worse is that Friday's "The Good Wife" marathon on TV is ruined. So I won't know if the sexy investigator with the boots ever killed her lowlife drug lord husband who wants a city of Chicago towing contract.
And to think I bought a new Snuggie and a tin of International Coffees for the three-hour "Good Wife" thing. What a waste.
I'll also never get to witness what promised to be the most amazing legal demonstration since the Family Secrets prosecution: "The Trial of Socrates," Jan. 31 at the National Hellenic Museum in Chicago.
The brilliant U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Richard A. Posner was to preside, with lawyers Dan Webb for the defense, and former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and former fed Patrick Collins hoping for a death sentence.
But now, thanks to the Mayans, there will be no trial of Socrates, and no Greektown meal afterward.
This end of the Earth thing is depressing. As Socrates said, maybe in an '80s movie, we're dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind. Or perhaps a plate of flaming cheese.
At least I got to present a copy of the legendary Rahmfather portrait to Mayor Rahm Emanuel at City Hall, with the artist, Eric Brightfield, in attendance. He created the original for me and made a copy for the Rahmfather.
Yet even if the mayor promised to make me Commissioner of Lotsa Stuff at the Airports or head of the BSP (Bicycle Secret Police), the painful truth is that I couldn't cash in. Not with the world ending because of those blasted Mayans.
But I'm not the only one who's upset. Old School, who helps me with the column, must have been really, really angry that Earth got crushed like an eggshell under the boot of a bloodthirsty god.
"I was thinking more like I probably melted like the bad Nazi in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,'" Old School said. "Ah, that's my fate."
He was young, so he didn't even get to put a full bucket list together.
Old School had hoped to drive a souped-up, bright yellow, pinstriped Dodge Challenger, with all the street racing technology and the real big-boy engine. And buy a 3-D TV.
And what about telling your boss what you really thought of him?
"I'm not dead yet," said Old School, in more animated times.
He planned to travel beyond the South Side, where he's spent 98 percent of his life.
"I wanted to go to California, to see if I hated it or not," Old School said. "I wanted to see what being relaxed felt like, instead of being a fist of nerves like I am here."
Is it me?
One thing you realize when it's too late is that we waste a lot of time in the news business, wondering what people think about certain politicians and ideas.
We poll endlessly, asking them about tax increases, health care, the soon-to-be$17 trillion deficit and all the foolish government spending.
It turns out, that was pointless.
Because before the world ended, an outfit called Ipsos Global Public Affairs surveyed the people of the Earth earlier. And they found that 10 percent of all Earthlings believe that the so-called Mayan prophecy signaled the end of the world.
And 12 percent of Americans believed the world would end Dec. 21.
What does this mean?
It means that here, in America, 88 percent of the people didn't know what the heck they were talking about. So no wonder our country was so screwed up. It wasn't the politicians after all. It was the people.
Of course, there is a tiny chance that the Mayan death gods have no juju, and we're alive. If so, then, do me a favor and just forget what I said. But let's give the ancient Mayans the Moutza anyway.

At Strider Sports International, we're enthusiastic about bike riding. Some would say we're even a bit obsessive.
But we've channeled our cycling mania to rethink the way a child should learn to ride a bike.
Balance comes first:
As a parent of two boys, Ryan McFarland became frustrated with the drawbacks of traditional beginner's bikes.
"Tricycle tip-overs" and "training-wheel wobbles" create a fear, hesitancy, and dislike of bike riding. And, after tinkering with several ideas, the answer hit Ryan: Balance and coordination should be taught before pedaling.
Yes, the traditional methods of learning to ride a bike have it backwards. Tricycles and training wheels place too much of the focus on learning to pedal.

Robinson and his son, David, watched the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection show from a hotel room in New Orleans. Robinson thought he'd get elected in 1980, five years after his career ended. Instead, he had to wait 33 more years.
When Robinson became the sixth member of the seven-man class, David was ready to celebrate.
"When it was announced, he went to the other room and he had a bottle of champagne," Robinson said during a phone interview on Saturday night. "He popped the cork and poured me a glass and we toasted each other. I didn't know he had it. It was a good little touch. He's got class. Takes after his daddy."
An interminable wait grew ever longer during the last two weeks and, especially, the last two days. Robinson, the star left linebacker for the last three of the Glory Years champions, had seen left end Willie Davis and left cornerback Herb Adderley be enshrined. He'd also seen middle linebacker Ray Nitschke, left defensive tackle Henry Jordan and safety Willie Wood get the call from Canton.
Robinson knew he belonged alongside his fellow legends. He wanted it for himself and he wanted it to solidify the Davis-Robinson-Adderley trio as the finest left side in NFL history.
"When I got nominated back in August, I was kind of cavalier and took it in stride," Robinson said. "'It's no big deal.' I was real nonchalant about it. The last two weeks, as it came closer and closer, I really, really, really got tied up and was excited. The last two nights, I have not had a full eight hours of sleep. I sleep an hour or two, wake up, and I dream about what it's like to be elected, then fall back asleep. Then I wake up again and think about what it's like to be not elected. It's back and forth. It's been terrible."
There probably wouldn't be much sleep coming on this night, either. Robinson is enjoying the thrill of a lifetime and said he phone was "blowing up."
"I never knew so many people," Robinson said with a laugh.
Robinson said he hasn't decided who would be his presenter, and for all his thinking about what could happen on Saturday night, he hasn't put together a mental rough draft of his acceptance speech.
"No, no, no! No, no no! I tried to play it down as much as possible so I wouldn't jinx myself," Robinson said.
Robinson said he'll have a lengthy list of thank-yous for his speech. Topping the list will be his family, which will make the speech a bittersweet moment. His wife, Elaine, and two of his three sons have passed.
"I can't tell you how many people I owe thanks to," Robinson said. "Joe Greene from Pittsburgh and Paul Warfield from Dallas and Cleveland, they were the two senior advisers to the Senior Board who nominated me. The board of five people who does the nominations, they bring in two Hall of Famers who talk about guys who played during that era that should be in the Hall of Fame. I understand that they gave me some glowing reports about how they couldn't believe I wasn't in there already. So, I've got to thank them. When you get the blessing from your competitors, that's more important than anything. Your teammates are always going to say favorable things about you but what do your competitors say?"
They can call him "Hall of Famer."

Following IRS Lead, State Filers Have One Week Extension
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (September 7, 2011) – Following the lead of the Internal Revenue Service, Comptroller Peter Franchot today extended the September 15, 2011, filing due date for Maryland taxpayers and their preparers affected by Hurricane Irene. Eligible taxpayers now have until September 22, to file tax returns for personal and business tax filings normally due September 15.
"I empathize with anyone impacted by this disaster," said Comptroller Franchot. "This extension will will assure that any individuals and business in the area are not penalized by an incident that was beyond their control. I remind everyone effected that this provision is only an extension to file, not a postponement to pay."
The taxpayer or taxpayer's preparer must be located in an area that was under an evacuation order or a severe weather warning due to Hurricane Irene, even if the preparer is located outside of the federally declared disaster areas. For more information on tax relief in disaster situations, visit ww.irs.gov. Taxpayers should continue to visit the Comptroller's Website at www.marylandtaxes.com for the more updated information on tax relief for Marylanders.

iPad Mini vs. Nexus 7: A Head-to-Head Tablet Comparison
Apple made a point of doing a side-by-side comparison of its new iPad Mini with Google's Nexus 7 at the launch event Tuesday in San Jose, highlighting the mini tablet's thinness, larger viewable screen area and custom app compatibility.
Tue, October 23, 2012
ANALYSIS: The iPad Mini puts Apple in a pickle
Those are all fine points, but they might not tell the whole story -- here's a more detailed comparison between the two devices.
Slideshow: 7 Reasons Google's Nexus 7 Beats the iPad
SCREEN: The Nexus 7 boasts higher resolution in a smaller overall package than the iPad mini -- 1280x800 in 7 inches, compared to 1024x768 in 7.9 inches -- giving it superior pixel density and a sharper picture. Apple opted not to include its Retina display technology in the new device for compatibility reasons -- since apps written for other iPad versions are all designed for a 4:3 aspect ratio, they would have to be retooled for differently proportioned screens.
Apple made a lot of hay out of the bigger screen at the launch event, saying that it represents a substantial increase in viewable area -- and the thin side bezels allow it to accomplish this without swelling the device's overall size by too much. While that's true, it's also slightly misleading -- yes, content can be displayed on a bigger scale, but it will still be less sharply defined than on the Nexus 7's screen.
UNDER THE HOOD: Much was made of the "missing" features on the Nexus 7 at its release -- the consensus is that Google skipped out on cellular connectivity and a rear-facing camera in the interest of keeping costs down. However, the device's other internals are nothing to scoff at -- the quad-core Tegra 3 system-on-a-chip provides solid performance and decent graphical horsepower.
Apple's iPad Mini adds a 5-meagpixel rear camera, but other than that, packs hardware similar to that of the second-generation iPad, released in March 2011 -- meaning 512MB of RAM to the Nexus 7's 1GB, and a dual-core A5 SoC instead of the aforementioned quad-core Tegra.
SOFTWARE: The excellent Version 4.1 of Android, better known as Jelly Bean, powers the Nexus 7, providing a powerful, responsive user experience. While the iPad Mini is no slouch in this department either, iOS 6's well-documented problems with Maps and other features detract from the usually seamless Apple UI.
That said, Apple's software ecosystem contains far more dedicated tablet apps than the Google Play store, meaning that there's a richer variety of tablet-focused content available to iPad Mini users.

Motorola Camera Updated with New Button Feature
Motorola recently updated its camera application for the Moto G, Moto G, and several Droids. The app has a single new feature: users can now press the volume button to take a picture. The app is free to download from the Play Store.
Moto Assist and Connect Published in Play Store
Motorola has made its Moto Assist and Moto Connect apps available to more of its devices by publishing them in the Google Play Store. Previously, they were only available on select devices, notably the Moto X, as preinstalled apps. Moto Assist is a tool that lets device owners set certain times when they shouldn't be bothered, such as when sleeping, in meetings, or driving. Moto Connect is a utility that let's people see incoming text messages and calls in their computer's Chrome browser. Both apps are compatible with the Moto X, Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx, and Droid Mini. Motorola also recently made the Moto X Camera and Touchless Control apps available in the Play Store.
Motorola Commits to Updating Moto X, Droids to KitKat
Motorola's support site revealed that the handset maker plans to update some of its more recent smartphones to Android 4.4 KitKat. Among those to be updated are all variants of the Moto X, as well as the Droid Mini, Ultra, and Maxx. The latter three are sold by Verizon Wireless. Older phones, such as the Droid Bionic, RAZR Maxx, and Droid 4, will remain on Android 4.1.2. Timing for the update will depend on the carrier and the exact model in question.
Hands On with the Motorola Droid Ultra, Mini, and Maxx
Verizon and Motorola today announced this year's trio of Droid phones. Like last year's RAZR HD, the Droid Ultra is the thin one. The Maxx has the great battery life, and the Mini is the smaller model with the 4.3-inch display. Otherwise they have a surprising amount in common. How do they stack up against the competition? Read on for our first impressions.
Verizon Intros 2013 Motorola Droid Lineup
Verizon Wireless today announced the Droid Ultra, Droid Mini, and Droid Maxx, all made by Motorola. The Ultra (shown) is thinner than last year's RAZR HD, at almost 7 mm thin, which Verizon calls the world's thinnest LTE smartphone. The Maxx is thinner than last year's RAZR Maxx HD, yet has more battery life (48 versus 32 hours.) The Mini replaces the RAZR M, and is the smallest and cheapest of the three. The Ultra and Maxx have 5-inch 720p displays, while the Mini has a 4.3-inch 720p display. All have a unique processor configuration that allows sensors and voice activation to operate while the phone is idle. The main processor in all three is a 1.7 GHz, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro. The Ultra and Maxx have AMOLED displays that can activate just a small section to show time and notifications while using minimal battery life. The Mini has a TFT LCD display. All three have 10-megapixel main cameras, plus front cameras. The Mini will sell for $99 on contract, the Ultra for $199, and the Maxx for $299. They are available for pre-order now, and will ship August 20th.

Summary of Murder in Mumbai Summary of Murder in Mumbai Reviews for Murder in Mumbai An Excerpt from Murder in Mumbai
From NPR editor Krishnadev Calamur comes an engrossing murder mystery set in the heart of the new India.
Mumbai, India: a city of beauty and squalor, old and new, wealth and poverty, honest work and deep corruption… and inevitable target of scandal and condemnation if Inspector Vijay Gaikwad doesn't solve the murder of American businesswoman Liz Barton, and quickly. Just as invested is newspaper reporter Jay Ganesh, looking for the one big story to repair his once-prestigious reputation. Both men soon discover, however, that the case is as difficult to navigate as Mumbai's infamous traffic. From her cheating husband to the billionaire industrialist with whom she was "close"; from her jealous colleague to the environmentalist protesting her company, Barton was not short on potential enemies… and nor are they short on lies. But the pressure is on for Gaikwad, the family man trying to do right on an often unscrupulous force, to place the blame on someone, anyone, and Jay is determined to be the first with the scoop—no matter how deadly.

Comments On Mar 31, 2014:It bolted up nicely. It did not come with a new diaphragm, o-rings or screws. That would be a nice addition considering these parts are known to fail because of the ethanol in our gas these days. Also, the flat piece they added to the AP so that they could fit in their logo looks like a nice place for grime to build up. I don't think that was necessary considering you can't even see the part.
I have not been able to test the performance because I my bike is not put back together yet. I will provide an update after I do some testing. Hopefully within a week or two.

Comments On Jan 27, 2014:Didn't really eliminate the bog like I had hoped, wiring the accelerator pump helped a lot more and was free. The adjustable leak jet was nice and helped dial it in a little, but overall this is unnecessary and very expensive. I'd recommend putting money elsewhere, or just saving it.

Comments On Dec 28, 2013:I thought it would fix my bogging issues but it only made it worse. I needed a shorter squirt but all this did was make it shoot 10 feet across my garage. I took it off and put the stock one back on and went from there. It looked pretty good and adjusting it was very easy; that's why I gave it two stars.

Comments On Feb 01, 2013:My 450x had problems starting, bogged, and backfired so i installed this along with other aftermarket parts. This made starting alot easier no more backfiring but did not solve the bogging when quickly whipping the throttle.

Comments On Nov 12, 2012:I bought this expecting it to dramatically improve the response time and 4stroke bog on my crf450r and it helped and makes it easy to adjust the leak jet, just don't expect to get a huge boost in bottom end like i've heard from people.

Comments On Aug 28, 2012:Had this for a couple years now. Cuts the hesitation out of my sons 07 RMZ 250 and fine tunes the throttle response. Good product. Worth the money.

Comments On Apr 05, 2012:Installed on a KTM 505 and with a little fine tuning of the idle mixture screw, it made a WORLD of difference.

Let me begin by saying that the story and the characters are exactly the same. Six years before this tale begins, Adrian Delancourt had broken Joanna Sherwood's heart and ruined her life. Adrian, Gareth Sherwood and Joanna Milford had been childhood friends, growing up together, playing at pirates and soldiers and pledging eternal fidelity. Of course, time and age separated them, but, as they had pledged, both Adrian and Gary appeared at Joanna's come-out ball. Both danced with her and both proposed marriage.
But Adrian asked first and Joanna had always been fascinated by his dark good looks, his tempestuous personality and his air of command. And thus the daughter of an impecunious baron married the Duke of Roxbury's heir. Within four months she was a duchess and within a year, she stood before the House of Lords, accused of adultery with her husband's best friend, Gareth Sherwood, Earl of Carew.
Accused of this heinous crime by her mother-in-law, Joanna had stood mute as her beloved husband accepted his mother's vile calumnies. She fled, first to her father but, when he closed his door to her, she had nowhere to go but to her best friend Gareth. After the trial and the divorce, Gary had married her and they fled, first to Italy and then
to Capri. Now, Gary is dead, drowned in a boating accident, and Joanna's loving mother-in-law wants her to return to England so that her two sons can grow up English.
Joanna resists; she knows that as a divorced woman she will be ostracized. But there is another problem. Her elder son, Justin looks exactly like his father and his father was not Gary. Assured that Adrian never visits the Armitage, the estate next to the Carew holdings, Joanna reluctantly agrees to go home.
Of course, as fate would have it, Adrian has come to the Armitage at the insistence of his mother who has found him the perfect second wife. Almeria Bennington has looks, money and breeding. Adrian's mother has invited the Benningtons to visit, determined to bring her son up to scratch by fair means or foul.
Fate would also have it that Adrian comes across Joanna visiting the haunts of their youth with her son. One look at Joanna causes Adrian to realize that he has never gotten over her, despite her supposed betrayal. One look at Justin makes Adrian understand that he lost more than a wife six years earlier. He also lost a son.
How Adrian and Joanna regain the love that they lost is the essence of The Duke's Double. When a hero has mistreated a heroine as badly as Adrian mistreated Joanna, most readers insist that he grovel pretty convincingly to get her back. I think the "grovel quotient" in The Duke's Double is quite acceptable. But Mills also shows why Adrian acted as he did and causes Joanna to recognize that her pride in
refusing to defend herself played at least a part in the tragedy.
The cast of secondary characters is rich and well drawn. I don't know that I have ever come across as unpleasant a mother-in-law as Helen, Dowager Duchess of Roxbury. But Mills does not create a caricature, but rather a woman whose motives are comprehensible if totally selfish. Equally well drawn is the good mother-in-law, the Dowager Countess of
Carew. We understand why she is so accepting of Joanna and her grandson, despite his irregular birth.
Mills also provides a touching portrayal of young Justin who is just old enough to realize how much he lost when his loving father died. If young Robin at three barely remembers his father, Justin is nearly inconsolable.
Perhaps the most poignant "character" in the story is Gareth Sherwood. This admirable young man who tried to force his friend to see how wrong he was and then married Joanna, loved her son as his own, and helped her to heal and grow is a constant presence. Watching Adrian remember his friend and slowly come to question his supposed betrayal is one of the strongest parts of the book.
Now, what about the differences between the two versions? Well, clearly the longer format allows more character development and the writing reflects Mills' increased skill. I think that the author deals more correctly with the legal issues surrounding Justin's birth. I also think that the sweet secondary romance between Joanna's suitor, the dashing Lord Barrasford and her governess, is an addition and a nice touch. But I'm not sure.
I do know that now I will have two versions of The Duke's Double on my keeper shelf, one for Pittsburgh and one for the shore. Thus, I will always have a copy of Adrian's and Joanna's love story on hand when I am in the mood for an intensely emotional and immensely satisfying romance.
--Jean Mason

I rounded down a half size when ordering, knowing how fleece compresses. Could have gone down an additional size. Two weeks later they're large on me, and I can feel the side seams inside.
These are exactly what I wanted! I didn't want slippers with a rubber bottom on them, I prefer just a nice leather moccasin type of slipper and these were the only slippers I could find that had the sheepskin lining, a full heel AND the leather bottoms. Thank you Overstock! The only complaint I have...and luckily it's not a big deal, is that I ordered a size 8 and a size 7 was sent to me. They still fit - though a bit snug if I want to have socks on with them.
I wanted warm and cozy but breathable slippers I didn't have to wear socks with and that did not leave any part of my feet uncovered. After many failed attempts to find the right slippers, these do the trick. I did order a whole size down based on comments and was glad I did. And, yes, they do smell at first, but that went away very quickly. And, unlike some reviewers, I actually like that the bottom of the slipper is suede rather than rubber. Sure, you can't run outside in them, but they're a lot lighter and they don't build up static. Not so with rubber bottoms! So, these were a win for me. Glad to have them!
opened the box and people steped back. the smell was horibie really bad. sprayed them with deodorizer and threw them in the garage for two days. still had a faint odor. save yourself the trouble dont buy.
These slippers are very warm, soft, and look good. I was under the impression when ordering them that they were made in the USA. Afterall, they are called "Amerileather." Also I typed made in the USA in the search engine when looking for them. A few days after receiving them I happened to turn back the cuff and found a Made in China tag. Mostly I have nothing against China, but people are out of work in THIS country so I am disappointed even though the slippers seem nice.
These are warm and very comfortable, I live in them all winter long.
These slippers were a big disappointment. I always wear shearling slippers for their softness, durability and toasty warmth. These slippers looked okay but I could feel the cold hard floor through the soles immediately and within a few hours what fleece there was got mashed flat. There was zero cushioning in the sole. Also the fleece on top of my toes had already started to ball up between my toes. I couldn't believe how bad these slippers were. My old shearling slippers which I got at REI and have worn for four years are still better than these brand new ones in terms of warmth, comfort and apparent durability. Don't waste your time and money on these.
my favor inside and out put son socks and set to go out
These slippers are a very good fit and value for the money. The dog grabbed them the first night and chewed the sherpa lining out of the heels. I replaced it with fake fur cloth and store my slippers up high from now on. They're soft and the soles are great for venturing out on the porch. Good deal!
These slippers are okay. I bought them because the description was so similar to Acorn's Oh Ewe's, except it was not a rubber sole which was fine with me. They are not as well made AT ALL. The stitching is already coming undone and the inside sole is already matted down and not at all as thick as Oh Ewe's. These slippers are only 2 months old. I have purchased one pair of Oh Ewe's a year, every year, for the past 20 years. I'm going back to Oh Ewe's. I was foolish in thinking the few dollars savings would be worth it. It was not a smart decision as they are not lasting. My husband even asked me why i switched and he really doesn't notice much, that's when I KNEW I had messed up. These are not lasting at all and I ONLY wear them in the house on carpeted and hardwood flooring.

I worked at LifeCare Hospitals full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Humm, give me a minute
Cons – Management from the Local CEO Down completely cliqueish, undereducated and undertrained. In short a complete clusterfunk. The CEO shows up less than 50% of the time, blows hot air, his management team, with only a notable exception or two, is made up of third stringers that couldn't get hired anywhere else. Corporate tolerates and condones this.
Advice to Senior Management – Fire yourselves
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at LifeCare Hospitals for less than a year
Pros – small , some flexibility, no one to bother you if you like to work alone
Cons – too much work , not enough man power, everything falls on you head , leaders dont care, jst want the jobs done
Advice to Senior Management – visit and treat each department equally
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at LifeCare Hospitals full-time
Pros – NONE- They could care less about their patients
Cons – I would give them a zero if possible. My dad went there because he has COPD and pneumonia. He has dementia as well. They kept him under "restraints" keeping his arms tied to the bed his entire stay which was about a month. He came out with serious bed sores, toe fungus, toenails an inch too long and bleeding, continued pneumonia because they kept him strapped down like an animal, and would rarely feed him because they kept him tied to the bed so he couldn't feed himself. He was lucky if someone showed up to feed him. DON'T SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE. THEY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.
Advice to Senior Management – Take care of your patients for a change. The state should shut all of these down.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at LifeCare Hospitals full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – teamwork educational,teaching hospital,comfort care,compassion always a challeng,pts contions constantly changing and knowing what to do.
Cons – doctors at times didn't want to listen to me they had a god complex,lazy nurses,nurses that did not know what they were doing.
Advice to Senior Management – it is not all about sticking to a budget it's call caring for the pt.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at LifeCare Hospitals
Pros – I'm sorry but the only reason I work for them is because our previous co was purchased by them & I had no choice. I was optimistic when they took over but that is gone. There horrible & could care less about there employees & in turn that directly reflects on how much they care about the patients in the facility
Cons – Absolutely everything!!!!! The turn over since they came is insane & they just don't care. They cut our hours tremendously & being a hired full time employee being forced to use all our PTO & dealing w unacceptable loss of hours( like 20-25 per pay) has really taken it's toll on everyone. They treat us like slaves wanting 1 person to handle a patient load of like 15-20 patients is not ok nor safe. All they care about is there bottom line apparently not realising that the employees are the face of there hospital & when u work them to death & treat them like garbage how are we supposed todo our job adequately & gi e the patients the care they allare paying for & deserve. I wouldn't recommend anyone to this hospital & that is very sad because before they came along I as well as many others loved there job now it's just where we go to pay our bills. I've talked to corporate regarding this & they don't care In the least.
Advice to Senior Management – Show the people who run your hospital (ie the employees) the respect we've earned & deserve & know it's not all about you. The patients are the priority & maybe if u wanted your hospital to be more successful you would act that way. I wish someone would take your hours from youikd you've done to us so you could see what your doing
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at LifeCare Hospitals
Pros – ~for the most part, excellent coworkers.
~great doctors, nutritionist, administration, case management, nice building.
Cons – ~bullying towards employees by loudmouth employees.
~direct/indirect harassment from management.....this is unexceptable.
~ tolerance for those employees who constantly decide not to show up to work.
~as of late,EMPLOYEE/PATIENT SAFETY..lousy working equipment/ adjusting the nursing to patient ratio for PROPER correct care.
~not backing up your employees.
~correcting or repremanding employees in public....REMEMBER ...you were there once.
~backlash/or just plain lying when coming to some mamnagement with problems and/or questions
Advice to Senior Management – ~to the ceo...this is a great hospital, please take care of/keep in touch with your staff who have direct care with your patients. we need to be physically,mentally and spiritually healthy to better serve our patients....thank you....remember the mission statement....and i think it will get and stay a fantastic place to work and be if your the patient.
I have been working at LifeCare Hospitals
Pros – They care about your thoughts and feelings. They promote growth in the company. They provide excellent patient care. I would bring my family here for treatment. You receive support from Corporate down and you are not just a number.
Cons – I would like to see the company continue to grow and become number one in the nation.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep rewarding the employees and holding people accountable and promoting team work because we know it works.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at LifeCare Hospitals
Pros – Great co-workers, long time friendships.
Cons – Being told to clock out and then finish my work. Being yelled at in front of my peers. Being so disruptive on a daily basis that it is almost impossible to get work done. Everyday having a different focus on a new process none which envoles patient care. Being pitted against other departments. Only caring about how many patients we can get in an not about taking care of the ones we have, and finally you only have a chance for promotion if your a male.
Advice to Senior Management – Support the hospital as a whole, and open your eyes to what's really going on.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at LifeCare Hospitals
Pros – Staff and immediate supervisors are great to work with. I met some really wonderful people in the time I worked there. There were also some great educational opportunities.
Cons – The people in upper management had a lot of turnover in time that I worked there. 3 CEO's, 3 DON's, 3 HR managers in less than 2 years. There is a culture of employees blaming each other and stabbing one another in the back. Gossiping is widespread; it is a very toxic work environment if you are not in with the popular crowd. I have never worked in such a place that felt like I was back in high school.
Advice to Senior Management – Address conflicts and gossiping. Having a policy of "Zero tolerance" means nothing if you allow slander and back stabbing on a daily basis. Listen to the staff. Recognize that staff needs support in order to do the best job.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at LifeCare Hospitals
Pros – Great co workers, supportive immediate supervisors
Cons – Complete lack of respect and appreciation for hourly employees, constant change in policy and procedures without impact evaluation, a "blame the employee" mentality when things go wrong without considering staffing and resource deficits, accomadation of one group of employees at teh expense of others.
Advice to Senior Management – Encourage HONEST feedback from employees, consider the possibility that we do our jobs every day, we may have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. Quit playing divide and conquer by pittng shifts and rotations against one another. Focus on real issues, instead of using created ones as a smolescreen.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Amen to that! I have a reputation (probably not entirely unfounded) for ranting and throwing things at the television when I'm watching an adaptation. Some of them are actually quite good, but these are rare exceptions.I'm a poor source on this stuff. I read so much, and complain so bitterly about the departures from the plot, that almost any book I read will be a movie I complain about.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but from what I remember, the movie is quite faithful to the Harlan Ellison novella. I found a review that might prove useful to those folks who like their science fiction hard boiled.Originally posted by Selma in Sandy Eggo:
A Boy and His Dog. Nope.

There's a quick and convenient way to have prescription
Check out VIAGRA home delivery. Or, you can fill your VIAGRA prescription
at your local or VIPPS®-accredited online pharmacy. Learn how to buy safely online.
VIAGRA was the first oral medication approved by the FDA
to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). VIAGRA has been prescribed
for over 22 million men. Find out if VIAGRA is right for you.
VIAGRA works for many men with erectile dysfunction (ED).
If you're taking VIAGRA, there are things you can do to help
get the best results.
If your doctor thinks VIAGRA is right for you,
you may be eligible to save.
**Terms and conditions apply. This is not health insurance.
This will only be accepted at participating pharmacies. No membership fees.

VIAGRA has an established safety profile.
But there are some side effects you should know about.
Scroll for Important Safety Information and Indication.
VIAGRA (sildenafil citrate) is prescription medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
Do not take VIAGRA if you take nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure.
Discuss your general health status with your doctor to ensure that you are healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. If you experience chest pain, nausea, or any other discomforts during sex, seek immediate medical help.
In the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury.
If you are older than age 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at the lowest dose (25 mg) of VIAGRA. If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25-mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of VIAGRA in a 48-hour period.
In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including VIAGRA) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA, and call a doctor right away.
Sudden decrease or loss of hearing has been rarely reported in people taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the PDE5 inhibitors or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of hearing, stop taking VIAGRA and contact a doctor right away.
If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure for which you take medicines called alpha blockers, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of VIAGRA.
VIAGRA should not be used with other ED treatments. VIAGRA should not be used with REVATIO or other products containing sildenafil.
VIAGRA does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
The most common side effects of VIAGRA are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur.
Please see full prescribing information for VIAGRA (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg) tablets.

Arctic Changes and an Ancient Extinction
Feb. 28, 2011
Scientists are studying an exceptional episode of ancient global warming that occurred around 56 million years ago. During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, global sea surface temperatures increased by about 5°C. Studying this period could help scientists understand how modern climate change could effect life on Earth.
Microbes and the Swirl of the Ocean
Feb. 28, 2011

In this New Year, let us lift our vision of what we can do and what we can achieve:read more
We crouch with Mary on the straw of our messy lives
letting go of everything but this moment.
"you who delight me" is in two parts:
poems of love—secular and spirited writing about people, places and events; and
words of spirit and faith—inclusive language, contemporary liturgies for individual contemplation and progressive faith communities.
Born to a poor uneducated carpenter and his partner
All: Jesus was one with oppressed humankind
Come, let us walk the road that Mary walked
the challenging road
from Nazareth to Bethlehem
not knowing what the future holds.
God in our distant places
Draw us closer
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
We have a vision of the world not yet realised
All: Where they will beat their swords into ploughshares
In the beginning was the Word …
It all started with an act of divine self-expression.
and the Word was with God …
It all comes from the center of God.
We are community
Embraced by the mystery of God's love for all creation
One What is the sound that calls us? Listen carefully.
Many The beating of our own hearts calls us to ourselves. It calls us to be our true selves, our best selves. Calls us to be what we might become.
All: If I could say one word,
I would say Amen
Leader: Give thanks for the Lord's goodness, God's love is steadfast and forever.
People: God has gathered us from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and rescued us from trouble.

Like other Victorian seaside towns such as Margate and Ramsgate, Broadstairs was once the playground of vacationing Londoners, and grand 19th-century houses line the waterfront. In the off-season Broadstairs is peaceful, but day-trippers pack the town in July and August.
Park your car in one of the town lots, and strike out for the crescent beach or wander down the residential Victorian streets. Make your way down to the amusement pier and try your hand in one of the game arcades. You can grab fish-and-chips to go and dine on the beach.
Charles Dickens spent many summers in Broadstairs between 1837 and 1851 and wrote glowingly of its bracing freshness.
Oast Houses
Take a drive through the Kent and Sussex countryside and you'll soon notice a distinctive feature of the landscape: oast houses, tall brick buildings with conical roofs, looking somewhat like witch's hats with a weathervane on top. These were built for drying hops, with a kiln at ground level heating the floors above. Dating as far back as the mid-18th century, most have now been converted into private houses.

This handsome pair of vintage reproductions was printed 25 years ago from antiques in the William Stafford archive. Swiss printseller and bookseller Karl Joseph Brodtmann was one of the most accomplished lithographers of his day. His natural history lithographs include Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's natural history volumes on reptiles and birds, published in the early 1830s. Brodtmann also produced the offered folio natural history lithographs, probably also in the 1830s, as Naturhistorische Bilder Gallerie aus dem Theirreiche.
William Stafford Gallery has a sterling reputation for its reproduction prints. The London-based gallery is a treasure trove of fine-art prints, contemporary black-and-white photography, sepia photography, and works in color. By commissioning artists and photographers and then controlling all aspects of print production, the gallery ensures a consistently exceptional quality. Through collaborations with master framemakers, it offers new and refreshing presentation ideas in pace with today's design trends.

How to Cook the Burgers
Each recipe makes four burgers.

Each should take about 4 minutes on each side, but cut a small slice into one to check doneness.

Outdoor recreation can play a vital role in protecting our natural resources. When you register your boat, you do your part in sustaining resources that promote safe and responsible use of our nation's waters. Your registration dollars also help pay for marinas, boat ramps, lake clean up and much more.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR):
The WDNR is responsible for regulating the state boating laws in Wisconsin.
All boats propelled by machinery, including gasoline, diesel and electric motors, and principally operated on Wisconsin waters must be registered with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). The following vessels are exempt from this requirement:
Boat owners must keep their Certificate of Ownership in a safe place.
Note: On the reverse of the Certificate of Ownership there is an application for the transfer of ownership.
Boat owners must have at least a temporary Certificate of Registration before they can operate on state waters. Upon receipt of the Certificate please note the following:
It must be signed and carried onboard when operating the vessel.
The Certificate of Number is valid for three years starting April 1 and expiring on March 31 of the third year. The WDNR must be notified within 15 days if the boater changes residences, or if the boat is stolen, destroyed or abandoned.
A transfer of the ownership of a boat terminates the certificate of number and title. The new boat owner will apply through the WDNR within 10 days following the transfer and prior to boat operation for a new title.
If you lose or destroy your Certificate of Number or decals, you must apply for a duplicate and submit a processing fee.
Successful registration results in a certificate of number, physical boat numbers and a decal. Your registration MUST be kept on board the vessel at all times. (It is advisable to keep the registration in a dry-bag on board.) Boat numbers must:
For example: WI-5697-JL or WI 5697 JL. This is a federal and state requirement.
Lack of the correct documentation can result in delays and fines.
Make sure all boats are properly marked and documented. It's important to keep your papers with the boat - be particularly aware when transferring ownership of your vessel.

FIRST LOOK AT CR FASHION BOOK: Carine Roitfeld unveils the first full fashion image from her hotly anticipated CR Fashion Book online today. The spread features model Juliet Ingleby dramatically enveloped in a billowing lavender veil and little else, walking through a cemetery trailed by a trio of black-clad attendants. Shot by Sebastian Faena and styled by Roitfeld, the image appears as an animated GIF on CRfashionbook.com, with the veil moving in the breeze. Roitfeld is gradually building hype for the release of her semiannual magazine, having previously posted on her site a cropped, close-up shot from the first issue of a model with a broken nose — with the tag line "under construction" — as well as a video of models preening on a mirrored floor from a mock-up issue, also lensed by Faena. The premiere issue of CR Fashion Book will hit newsstands on Sept. 13. Roitfeld is planning a launch party for the title during New York Fashion Week.
